At a ministerial-level scientific conference held at the Academy of Journalism and Communication in Hanoi, the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on social sciences education and research, academic ethics, and the challenges it brings were discussed.
Purpose and Scope of the Conference
While the rapid development of artificial intelligence leads to significant changes in social sciences education and research, it poses new demands regarding academic ethics, data protection, intellectual property, and social responsibility. Scientists, managers, and delegates addressed these issues at the ministerial-level scientific conference organized by the Academy of Journalism and Communication in Hanoi.
Opportunities and Risks Presented by Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Academy Director Associate Professor Pham Minh Son stated that generative artificial intelligence and large language models are changing the ways of teaching, learning, and researching. While artificial intelligence supports personalized learning, it also brings risks such as technological dependency, content verification challenges, and ensuring academic integrity.
Three Main Focus Areas and Ideological Security
According to Associate Professor Dr. Mai Duc Ngoc, Permanent Deputy Director of the Academy, the workshop focused on identifying ideological security risks in the digital era, assessing the current status of the struggle to protect the ideological foundation of the party, and formulating solutions suited to the requirements of the new era.
Examination of International Experiences
